Dear ‘Retro’ Games, You’ve been with us for as long as we can remember. And we owe you. Big time. You were there for the long nights, glowing screens, worn buttons, and that unmistakable feeling of just one more try. And the quarters… So. Many. Quarters. Read more: reso.ly/3Ma7Jgc

David Rosen, who helped create Sega and changed the coin-op industry forever, has passed away. www.replaymag.com/segas-dave-r... An absolute titan in video game history. May he rest in peace.

With 2025 drawn to a close, it feels like the right time to announce that I stepped down as CEO at Limited Run Games back in September. I'm still working there as President until March, but after that, I will be scaling back to redirect my focus to new adventures.

Omega 6: The Triangle Stars (down to $3.74), a retro sci-fi ADV written/designed/dotted by Star Fox's Takaya Imamura in collab with Happymeal (Hokkaido Serial Murder Case remake)—I'm shocked it's still so under-the-radar https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/omega-6-the-triangle-stars-switch/

Back in the early 90’s everyone in Sweden thought we would get the US model of the SNES when it was presented due to the history of Famicom being remodeled to the NES. Glad we got the Japanese design. The magazine Nintendo Magasinet from Autumn 1991 saying “this is what it looks like!”.
